19 above average. Not bad going!

I've got 29 so far, but 4 players still to play.

Jesus I've got 51 now!!!
I've got three: Roberge (not expecting much), Dzeko (expecting something) and Bojan (expecting a lot).

A mighty 17 points and a further fall of another 750k places - although, I have only had 4 players playing today.

Fingers crossed the remaining players do something over the next few days!

Balls, my team isn't doing too well at all, may as well use more than my one transfer this week to sort it out as it can't get much worse...
Need to start paying more attention to fixtures and base my team more around that I think...

Just looked at the leaderboard and I am top despite not getting any points yesterday!!

(25 Aug 2014, 5:17 pm)Tom wrote Just looked at the leaderboard and I am top despite not getting any points yesterday!!

And first to 100 points!

Hoping for a goal fest tonight, preferably with Yaya Toure and Sturridge both getting hat-trick's

The biggest mistake I have made, is not making Ramsey captain.
Lost about 20pts over the last two weeks, which would have made a massive difference to things.

Making transfers gradually, just to try and get the balance right.
Will keep the wild card for a while yet.

Never mind Sturridge and Toure, hopefully it will be Sturridge, Nasri and Kompany who get a few points between them!

Yeah, don't think Sturridge was a sensible choice of captain either to be honest, Janmaat got me the most points this weekend (so far...)

Think I'm going to see how it goes next week, I've made the transfers I could without costing me points, if it's still bad then the wildcard will be used...

So much for hoping for a 6 point Lovren. Massive mistake by Liverpool dropping Lucas for Joe Allen imo. Lucas makes up for Liverpool's lack of a world class centre half.

Not many high scoring teams in this weeks round of fixtures.

The fairly low scoring set of results, mean it is still fairly close between all of the teams.

Dan Picken's late arrival, means he does have sons catching up to do.
Hopefully Fozz's move up north, see's his team follow the pattern and head up the table.

I'm happy with my team - could have been in the lead if I used Laarson.

Standings updated in post 2.

Frustrating like.
Could have had 20 more points off Ramsey being my captain, rather than vice.
Part of the game I suppose.

On a slightly different note, found my scores from entries in the past.

Previous seasons:

Season Points Rank
2006/07 1531 541128
2007/08 2108 50773
2008/09 1635 725738
2010/11 1774 731305
2011/12 1598 1654307

The 2007/08 season was so close - only a few points separated the top few teams!

I've decided that my team couldn't be doing much worse so I'm going to make some transfers that require points

Use your wildcard - you have nothing to loose?

(26 Aug 2014, 7:57 pm)Tom wrote Use your wildcard - you have nothing to loose?

True, although I don't know whether to save that until a bit later, if I'm seriously lagging behind... I probably won't make any changes until Thursday/Friday however, bearing in mind that some players may get injured in the Capital One Cup matches so it gives me a couple of days to think the changes over

You can make unlimited transfers with the wildcard, and I believe you get two wildcards. One for use until January and the other after.

Each to their own, but I've always thought it's a bit daft playing a wild card this early. At least let teams build up a bit form first.

I don't think I'll be using mine anytime soon like, although I have made more than one transfer this time, loosing four points.

(26 Aug 2014, 8:10 pm)Tom wrote I don't think I'll be using mine anytime soon like, although I have made more than one transfer this time, loosing four points.

I've made two, as I had two available however now Bojan is injured so I need to transfer him out, as I like to have 3 strikers (more points, in theory anyway)

How did people do?
Planned my team, meticulously - thought Stoke would be mullered at Man City and wasn't fancying Puncheons chances in a start, bearing mind his history with Warnock.
The result? Everything went t!ts up and I have twenty odd points sitting on the bench!

Urrrgggh, Fantasy Football - don't you just love it!

Still got 5 players to play, but out of the 6 that played I got 32. Not a bad return.

(30 Aug 2014, 7:37 pm)aureolin wrote Still got 5 players to play, but out of the 6 that played I got 32. Not a bad return.

Not bad at all.
Got 33 with 4 left to play. Would be quite happy with just one of them making an appearance (obviously getting a stack of points) and all three of my subs coming on!

I've got 37 with two left to play.

(30 Aug 2014, 8:21 pm)Andreos Constantopolous wrote Looks like another close week!

I've changed my team a lot for next week, but despite loosing 12 points, I hope the points the players will get makes up for it.

Did you not fancy using your wildcard?
Have been using my squad, but have made a transfer each week.

I played my wildcard this morning and transferred in a number of players, one of whom was Fabregas, I subsequently failed to substitute him into my team, not realising I transferred him in for someone that was previously on the bench...
Praying for a big game from Ramsey...
